Cuomo confirmed Tuesday that Long Island City is under consideration, but he didn't say if a deal was final with Amazon, vowing instead to do whatever New York could do to lure the tech giant to the city — where Amazon already has about 1,800 employees.

"I think it’ll be transformative for the entire state," Cuomo told reporters after he voted in Mount Kisco. "They are looking at Long Island City, which is in Queens, New York. But I think it will be an economic asset for the entire state."

If Long Island City were to be the ultimate destination for Amazon's HQ2, Westchester would still benefit from it because area residents may be employed by the company, or said area businesses can do business with Amazon, said County Executive George Latimer.

"If it's good for the region, it would benefit Westchester County even if there's not going to be headquarters here," Latimer said. "But obviously, we were hoping there’s going to be headquarters here."

In terms of real estate, Amazon HQ2's presence in Long Island City would have would have “very little” impact on Westchester because Long Island City and nearby Manhattan have the type of housing Amazon employees would want, said Howard Greenberg, a commercial real estate expert in White Plains.

“My gut tells me that there would not really be much impact on Westchester real estate,” he said. “There could always be higher-end executives who would want to live up here, but Amazon’s primarily millennial workforce would want to be in Long Island City, Manhattan or Brooklyn neighborhoods for the public transportation commute and the type of residential product that they would want to live in.”

Gentrification in Long Island City would force some existing small businesses to leave the area, but Westchester doesn’t have much vacancy in warehouse and flex spaces, Greenberg said.

“The good news is if you have demand, it would drive up pricing for whatever little amount of space that’s left,” he said. “But they’d have a difficult time finding a home.”

Upstate rejection

Proposals by Rochester and Buffalo, along with ones in Syracuse and Albany, were rejected.

But the upstate bids offered a glimpse at how much in public subsidies Amazon may get from New York.

Cuomo didn't offer any details on what New York is proposing to lure Amazon to Queens, but he suggested it was sizable.

"I think we put together a great package to bring them here," Cuomo said. "I think they would be foolish to go anywhere else, he says with the arrogance of a New Yorker."

Some groups, though, were leery of a massive subsidy to bring in Amazon.

"Amazon, one of the wealthiest and largest companies in history, needs the city more than the city needs Amazon – plain and simple," said Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.

"If Amazon wants to come here, they can afford to do so on their own."
